Discovery Centre

Now open

Showcasing more than 1300 objects, digital displays and more, the Discovery Centre stimulates curiosity, awakens observation and encourages enquiry. It’s an interactive space where you can meet museum experts, discover more about what you find in the Museum or ask questions about your own discoveries in the outside world.

Get engaged, ask questions, discover, play and have fun in this exciting space, with specialist staff on hand to answer questions and identify objects – from archaeology to palaeontology, cultural history to earth sciences and of course, questions about insects, reptiles, arachnids and mammals.

The popular live animals will also be returning – snakes, spiders, stick insects and giant cockroaches – along with the Meet the Curator sessions.

The newly refurbished Discovery Centre will be open on Level 4, Queensland Museum from Saturday, 9 March 2019 from 9.30am.
